William immediately wiped that arrogant expression off his face when he heard that the man was Uncle Oscar.
Back when he was still studying in Aurous Hill, he had learned about the powerful Moore family and their top position in the social pyramid in the city, s
Although he was a renowned businessman in Hong Kong with a net worth of hundreds of millions, he was incomparable to the Moore family. Their fortune was worth at least hundreds of billions of dollars, a hundred times higher than his, so even the status of their butler was higher and more powerful than his. 7
Paul was a little flattered and taken aback by Uncle Oscar's appearance in the suite.
Oscar smiled and said, "Mr. Paul, the Moore family and you go way back. When the family first operated their export business in the US, I accompanied Lord Moore to look over the operations and whenever we encountered any legal problems, it was your father who solved it all for us. Frankly, our Lord Moore and your father shared a personal friendship, but you may not be clear about these because you were still in school at the time." 5
Then, Oscar added, "Therefore, to the Moore family, you're their life savior's son. We can't neglect your needs and services, for it will reflect on our hospitality
and manners."
Paul nodded gratefully. "Uncle Oscar, please thank Lord Moore on my behalf and please convey my message to him. I may be a little busy these days, but after I've settled the matter and my company slowly sets sail in Aurous Hill, I'll visit him personally." i
Uncle Oscar smiled warmly. "Of course. Please contact me, I'll arrange the time and venue. Anyway, I don't want to be a bother. I'll ask the kitchen to serve your food now." 1
Paul said, "Alright, I need to go too, let us leave together."
